    Growing up, we weren't tethered to our parents via cell phones.  Once in a while we needed a nudge to get out there, but not often.  "Outdoors" was freedom.

  • Freedom? Maybe. But also gnats, mosquitos, and horseflies.

    And swimming holes, trails, forts, hills and a bucketful of other things.

  • Swimming holes, one may drown.  Trails, one may be bitten by a snake. Forts, I prefer farts.  Hills, life is already a struggle. Buckets o' things, might be poisonous.

  • Parents work hard to give their kids a home and all the stuff that is inside it like TV, the refrigerator and delivered pizza.  To not stay inside and enjoy these things is to show disrespect and to not be appreciative.

    To deny the pure awesomeness of "outdoors" is to dis God, Mother Nature or serendipity...depening upon your belief...regardless, that is something created by something greater than you or I...

    I am amazed.

    Well I can certainly see why your parents may have prodded you to go outside...I would wish you a good day, but I haven't time for doom and gloom this morning.

  • My parents wished me beset by mosquitos and gnats?  God's blood!  I offered no doom or gloom... reality.

  • True.  But I have never encountered a pizza tree or a snack bush.  I have heard rumor of a lake of mead. I'd like to check that out.

    My parents never prodded me to go outside, in fact they thought I spent too much time out there and I was always so grubby when I came back in.
